okay hopefully someone else can help on this front. Thanks for everything else Alec.
I think I'm going to try connecting up the common (brown) wire and the request for heat (red) wire to the VR65 and see if it works.
If not I think I'll have to supply the common stat with 230v supply and put the red and blue cables into the VR65, remembering to remove the red jumper from the boiler ports 3&4 as i'll now have a controller that is powered by 230v.
